The card information structure (CIS) is information stored on a PC card that contains information about the formatting and organization of the data on the card. The CIS also contains information about:
- The type of card
- Supported power supply options
- Supported power saving features
- The manufacturer
- Model number
- and so on.
When a card is unrecognized it is frequently because the CIS information is either lost or damaged.

Famous quotes containing the words card, information and/or structure:
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
—Anonymous.
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
